Our reliable testing solutions allow for the treatment, control and prevention of conditions associated with allergies and infectious disease.

The immune system protects our body against several factors including allergens, harmful pathogens and foreign particles. Allergies involve an exaggerated response of the immune system and are among the most common chronic conditions worldwide. Infectious disease agents are also one of the leading contributors to debilitating and sometimes fatal conditions. Therefore, scientists look to understand interactions between microbes and the immune system.

We strive to help scientists better understand the relationship between key regulators of bone metabolism.

Bone metabolism is a continual, cyclic interplay of bone growth and resorption. The dynamic relationship between osteoclasts, osteoblasts and an array of hormonal and regulatory influences carefully orchestrates this process. The relative levels of these signaling molecules dictate whether healthy, balanced bone metabolism ensues. Disturbances to this delicate equilibrium, where reabsorption is greater than growth, can weaken the skeletal architecture and put one at risk for the development of chronic and debilitating diseases, such as osteoporosis.

We offer a range of research tools required to identify novel Cardiovascular Disease and Oxidative Health biomarkers, enabling scientists to test their relevance in basic, preclinical and clinical studies.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) encompasses a constellation of diseases related to the heart and/or circulatory system. Two primary risk factors for CVD include obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, both of which have continued to be on the rise over the past few decades. It is evident that regardless of the advancements in scientific knowledge of the disease and the improvements in diagnosis and treatment, more research is necessary to further our understanding of CVD.

As a leading provider of testing solutions for the Diabetes and Obesity research community, we support scientists’ efforts to gain a greater understanding of these conditions.

With no cure for Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes and a lack of effective obesity treatments, scientists in the Diabetes and Obesity fields are continually in need of new methods to advance their studies. As these needs progress, we strive to provide Diabetes and Obesity investigators with the necessary tools to identify key biomarkers to achieve their research goals.

We offer advanced tools to study gastroenterology and its related fields, including areas such as food intolerance and differentiating between IBD and IBS.

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of the digestive system (comprised of stomach and intestine) and related disorders affecting it. Gastric diseases and ailments have become a growing therapeutic segment of interest due to an increased prevalence of irregular dietary habits and poor hygiene factors across the world.

We supply immunology researchers with a wide array of solutions to gain insight into the development and progression of immune responses.

Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that is concerned with the relationship between body systems, pathogens and immunity. The central science of immunology is the study of the molecular and cellular components that comprise the immune system, including their function and interaction.

We offer scientists a number of relevant assays in various formats for the investigation of neurological function, diseases and disorders of sensory information processing.

Neurological disorders can be caused by a variety of systematic diseases, toxic exposures, medications, infections and hereditary disorders.(1) Studies have linked the presence of high anti-ganglioside titers to several neuropathies, Additionally, correlations have been drawn between the severity of the disorder and the isotype detected. IgG antibodies have been strongly associated with acute conditions, while IgM antibodies tend to be present in chronic diseases. Many of these neurological disorders exhibit similar symptoms involving sensory loss and distal pain, numbness, tingling and weakness, causing them to be difficult to dissociate. An increasing level of research indicates immunological tests for ganglioside antibodies plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of neuromuscular diseases.(2)

We help scientists achieve their goals in advanced toxicological testing by offering a wide range of preclinical, species-specific assays.

Toxicological side effects are a common obstacle in drug development pipelines. They often manifest in site-specific damage to vital organs, including the liver, kidney and heart. Labs engaged in compound, drug and device screening and development are chartered to perform a comprehensive survey of potential toxicological side effects as part of their routine practice.
